I get up at 5 a.m. every morning. After brushing my teeth I go to a park for jogging. At 6 a.m. I come back, take bath, put on uniform and be ready for school. Mom serves me snacks and milk. I go to school and in the recess I take light breakfast. I just prefer oat products or corn-flakes which are very nutritious. My lunch also consists of a balanced diet and I eat very moderately. I avoid eating junk food, bakery items or eatables made out of ‘maida’.
In the afternoon I do my homework, extra reading and net browsing for extra knowledge. Every evening is my play time. I play street games and sports on the playground. It energises me abundantly. I am sociable, like to make more friends.
I keep cheerful by playing practical jokes and making fun. I have got a stout body and can carry out any physical task. This way of my living enables me to take part in various activities and keeps me active. I never allow stress; worries are safely discouraged. I am happy and healthy that way!

You are participating in a two minute elocution competition on ‘Cleanliness Campaign for our Street’. Write your speech in about 15 sentences.
Answer:
April 24, 2019
‘Pranam’ to the principal, all the teachers and elders and love to my schoolmates, The appeal of our Prime Minister for cleanliness has rather awakened all the citizens of our country and different agencies at various places have taken up the cleanliness campaign considering it their moral duty. You all are well- aware of this. In the same course, we also will have to contribute. ‘Cleanliness’ is next to ‘Godliness’. We usually seek God’s blessings for keeping us healthy.
We will keep healthy and happy only if we keep our surroundings clean. The direct advantage of cleaning streets is that they will look nice as well as we’ll keep ourselves far from diseases. But, beyond that, if we take up this task in our hands, it will provide a great motivation to others. We should not think that cleaning is a mean task.
Class 11 English Unit 4 Read 1 & 2 H.W:
Gandhiji used to clean the toilets himself. How can it be a shameful task ? In fact, it is a task that should bring us pride. After cleaning, we should swear not to make it dirty again. How can a dirt-doer be greater than a dirt-cleaner ? Let’s join hands and keep our streets and consequently our city, our state and our nation clean.
